What’s New for Search in DSE 6.7

DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 6.7 is a new version of Apache Cassandra™ that offers improved performance, stability, and reduced complexity for users. It introduces a new search shard selection algorithm to reduce resource usage and enhance the execution of flexible queries. DSE 6.7 also elevates native geospatial functionality, making it easier to configure, execute, and manage geospatial queries and data types. The update supports automatic creation of search indexes by inferring data types in CQL schema and generating corresponding Solr schemas. Additionally, it handles native spatial data types and adds support for Solr's facet heatmap functionality through the CQL solr_query API.
